I read this story and would like to share it Dear Editor, with you. It has a powerful message. I would like you to know that I love your newsletter He remembered his grandmother's warning about praying on and would like to share an article which I wrote, “Our time: "My son, you shouldn't leave prayer to this late time". His Own Kahf”, with your readers. grandmother's age was 70 but whenever she heard the Adhan, “For they, if they should come to know you, she got up immediately and performed Salah. He, however could will stone you or turn you back to their never win over his ego to get up and pray. Whatever he did, his religion; then ye will never prosper.” Salah was always the last to be offered and he prayed it quickly to (Surat-Al-Kahf Ayat 20) get it in on time. This particular ayat in Surat Al-Kahf, or The Cave, is referring to Thinking of this, he got up and realized that there were only 15 a group of young men who had dwelled in a cave for some minutes left before Salat-ul Isha. He quickly made Wudhu and time. When one of these young men went into the city with a performed Salat-ul Maghrib. While making Tasbih, he again silver coin to buy food he was warned of the people therein who would turn him “…back to their religion…” if they should remembered his grandmother and was embarrassed by how he come to know of him. Some might read this story, in particular had prayed. His grandmother prayed with such tranquility and this ayat, and view it as a time far off and distant, but upon peace. He began making Dua and went down to make Sajdah deeper probing and a pinch of reflection one will see the and stayed like that for a while. He had been at school all day relation to our present day and age, our present situation. and was tired, so tired. Let me explain. Kahf means a “Place of refuge; protection He awoke abruptly to the sound of noise and shouting. He was from trouble, danger, or pursuit; place to hide; place to go into sweating profusely. He looked around. It was very crowded. Every hiding; cavern; cage; refuge.” Now, when we are in our homes direction he looked in was filled with people. Some stood frozen (or a Mosque for that matter) are we not in our own personal place of refuge? Our own “Cave”? I think it is safe to say yes. looking around, some were running left and right and some were However, eventually we must venture out of our homes (or on their knees with their heads in their hands just waiting.

When different religions-- whether it be the religion of gangs, the he was alive, he had heard many things about the questioning on religion of drugs, the religion of lust and sexual sin, or even the religion of hate. the Day of Judgment, but that seemed so long ago. Could this be something his mind made up? Could it be a dream? No, the wait It is proven that none of these “religions of man” bring true and the fear were so great that he could not have imagined this. happiness and peace; quite the contrary they give birth to misery and pain some sooner, some later. As the saying goes: Two angels grabbed his arms and led him forward. He walked “misery loves company”, and in light of this we conclude that with unknowing eyes through the crowd. The angels brought him when we (Muslimun) are amongst them (Kafirun) they will to the center and left him there.

  • An Analysis of Local Media's Framing of Local Terrorists
    THE US/THEM BINARY: AN ANALYSIS OF LOCAL MEDIA’S FRAMING OF LOCAL TERRORISTS Amy D. Deitrickson A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS December 2007 Committee: Rekha Mirchandani, Advisor Phil Dickinson Radhika Gajjala Gary Oates ii ABSTRACT Rekha Mirchandani, Advisor The media is a vital player in the terrorist cycle since the communication of information can have tremendous influence on reactions to terrorist events. Typically, when doing research on terrorism and the media, researchers draw samples from large, national media organizations and recently, the focus has been on the media's presentation of 9/11 and other large, very publicized terrorist events. In contrast, since 9/11, scholars have not paid as much attention to smaller terrorism cases, especially concerning how they were represented in their respective local media outlets. It is important to explore the many communicative paths of terrorism discourse, not just the most prominent. The present study addresses this neglected area of research by analyzing coverage of terrorism in the local context. The ethnocentric distinction between the “us” and “them” binary of terrorism is examined by studying how two local news sources present incidents of terrorist-related activities where the accused is somehow identified with the local community. My hypothesis is that when the accused is located close to home, assumptions about terrorism -- the identity of terrorists, the reasons given for terrorism -- are blurred. This research found that being from the community does affect the coverage of the events and the treatment of the accused.

FBI, No. 12-56867, 2019 WL 961953 (9th Cir. Feb. 28, 2019). As Plaintiffs have explained, the government’s ongoing retention and searching of their personal data and communications establishes their standing to pursue declaratory and injunctive relief. See Pls.’ Opp. to Gov’t Officials’ MTD 11- 17. The Ninth Circuit’s decision in Fazaga directly supports Plaintiffs’ standing. In Fazaga, the plaintiffs alleged that the FBI conducted an unlawful, covert surveillance program that gathered information about Muslims based on their religious identity. 2019 WL 961953, at *3. In addition to other relief, the plaintiffs sought the expungement of all information obtained or derived through the program and maintained by the government. Id. at *28-29.

  • ICLI 2020 Calendar
    Islamic Center of Long Island Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh Dear Brothers and Sisters in Islam: I hope and pray that this year brings you and your families abundant blessings and mercy from Allah (swt) and that you may stay in the best state of Iman (faith) and health. We all are familiar with the most famous proverbs “Time is money” and “Time is Gold”. Time has great importance in the life of a human being. Humanity has always been anxious with time, the passage of time, the measurement of time, and the scientific qualities of time. Time is a blessing on all of us. We should concentrate on how we use time ac- cording to our Islamic perspective. Allah Almighty has clearly stated the value of time in the Quran. We should make the use of time wisely to increase our faith in this life and the hereafter too. Our beloved Prophet (SAW) said about time in a Hadith: “There are two blessings which many people lose: (They are) health and free time for doing good” (Bukhari). From this saying, we can conclude that we should utilize our time for doing good deeds for the sake of Almighty Allah’s plea- sure. We order our lives around time and in Islam lives are structured around the daily prayers. We should offer prayers on time which are obligatory on every Muslim. In Islam, believers are encouraged to be certain of time, to know its importance and to organize it intelligently. If human beings do not waste or abuse time, but rather think of it as a bless- ing from Allah (swt), then they have every reason to hope for success both in this life and in the hereafter.

Karena inilah di antara kesulitan yang sering dihadapi oleh mahasiswa, ketika mereka disuruh perhitungkan kordinat dan rumus yang berbeda-beda di luar contoh yang telah ada.

Perusahaan ini didirikan pada tahun 2013. Pada tahun 2018 ini sudah tergabung 1.237 masjid dan mushala. Beberapa tahun belakangan ini Aplikasi Masjidku mengalami penurunan kinerja. Berangkat dari permasalahan tersebut peneliti tertarik untuk mengetahui bagaimana performa komunikatif yang dilakukan tim masjidku dalam mengelola informasi masjid pada Aplikasi Masjidku? Metode penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan studi kasus intrinsik dengan metode penelitian kualitatif. Teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan observasi tidak berstruktur, wawancara dan dokumentasi. Adapun teori yang digunakan adalah teori Performa Komunikatif yang dikemukakan oleh Pacanowsky dan O’Donnell Trujilo yang menggambarkan proses simbolik dari pemahaman perilaku manusia dalam sebuah organisasi. Selain itu peneliti juga menggunakan teori Computer Mediated Communication, konsep New Media, dan konsep Media Sosial sebagai teori pendukung dalam menganalisa penelitian. Hasil penelitian dan analisis dilakukan dengan menggunakan elemen-elemen teori performa komunikatif seperti menilai performa ritual, performa hasrat, performa sosial, performa politis dan performa enkulturasi masing-masing individu. Sejauh ini performa yang terjadi ditemukan hambatan karena perbedaan lokasi kerja, tidak terbuka terhadap investor muslim, tidak fokus kepada tujuan awal dan program yang kurang diminati jamaah.
